Tom Jackman is the only living descendent of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He has made a deal with his dark side: a body share.
Jekyll is a British television drama series produced by Hartswood Films and Stagescreen Productions for BBC One.
It was written by Steven Moffat and stars James Nesbitt as Tom Jackman, a modern-day descendant of Dr. Jekyll, who has recently begun transforming into a version of Mr. Hyde (also played by Nesbitt).
He uses modern technology in an attempt to keep Hyde in check and the two for a while have a peaceful co-existence until it is revealed that they are the key to a secret-organisation’s one-hundred year old plot.
The series is described by its creators as a sequel to the novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, rather than an adaptation of it, and the Robert Louis Stevenson tale is used within the series as a backstory.
The series was first transmitted on BBC One in June and July 2007.
Jeffrey Tayor of Stagescreen Productions intended to make a sequel to the original story and joined with Hartswood Films when Elaine Cameron was scouting for ideas for a supernatural thriller.
Cameron then approached Steven Moffat for a script, and a six-part series was commissioned by the BBC’s Jane Tranter and John Yorke in November 2005.
BBC America signed on to provide co-production funding in March 2006.
Moffat explicitly describes the series as a sequel, rather than an adaptation, stating that the Jekyll of the original story really existed, and Jackman is his “modern-day descendant dealing with the same problems”.
Written by Steven Moffat. Starring James Nesbitt, Gina Bellman, Paterson Joseph, Denis Lawson, Michelle Ryan, Meera Syal, Fenella Woolgar.
